Speaker 1: jean.
Speaker 2: Danka drives you home on cartoons, cartoons. Hi
Speaker 1: alexander, how are you? Hello
Speaker 2: jean. I'm pretty good.
Speaker 1: First up, are you team Godzilla or are you team
Speaker 1: kong and why? Oh,
Speaker 2: you're really putting me on the spot here. I would
Speaker 2: say going into the movie when we started shooting it.
Speaker 2: I was definitely Team Godzilla when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: I loved the old
Speaker 2: sixties Godzilla movies like sixties and seventies. I recommend going
Speaker 2: back and people should watch them because they're incredible. It's
Speaker 2: basically an actor in a Godzilla suit, walking around a
Speaker 2: miniature set of Tokyo, just kicking things and they're done
Speaker 2: with a lot of passion and love and it's a
Speaker 2: real treat to watch them. So
Speaker 2: growing up, I, I love those, so big Godzilla fan
Speaker 2: going into the movie, but then shooting the movie, my
Speaker 2: characters with kong for the entire movie, basically that was
Speaker 2: six months with him and I kind of grew to
Speaker 2: love the guy I got to go with kong. Now
Speaker 1: you've done some phenomenal work, some serious roles and this
Speaker 1: one seems unlike something you would normally pick. Was it intentional?
Speaker 1: Did you want to do something a little more light
Speaker 1: hearted perhaps?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I haven't done a big like tent pole movies
Speaker 2: since Tarzan, which was five years ago and I've been
Speaker 2: working on more dramatic but slightly more intense and character
Speaker 2: driven pieces and that was, I had some incredible years
Speaker 2: of working on fantastic dark characters and dark subject matters.
Speaker 2: So I was
Speaker 2: like, yeah, absolutely. I was so ready to go and
Speaker 2: do something crazy and fun and wild and loud and
Speaker 2: unpretentious with lovely people and just be a little kid
Speaker 2: again and so I was, I was very excited about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love seeing you in roles like that where you
Speaker 1: have a bit of a laugh. Well I think
Speaker 2: it's important to kind of for my own sanity to
Speaker 2: kind of find a balance when you've done a couple
Speaker 2: of like really intense characters. It's cathartic to go and
Speaker 2: do something fun and light and crazy.
Speaker 2: Not that there aren't like very dramatic moments in Godzilla
Speaker 2: versus kong but totally overall, it's like, you know, it's
Speaker 2: a big matinee tent pole fun movie to watch hopefully.
Speaker 2: And it definitely was to shoot what
Speaker 1: was your personal favorite part of the movie?
Speaker 2: I would say the locations were pretty special. We shot
Speaker 2: in Hawaii and on the Gold coast of Australia, which
Speaker 2: is a treat. There were so many different things that
Speaker 2: were fun. Like I did love the heave, which is
Speaker 2: like the little spaceship we're in shooting that stuff was
Speaker 2: being like on a, on a roller coaster because was
Speaker 2: on a gimbal. So it would like fly around on
Speaker 2: the sound stage. That was a lot of fun, slightly
Speaker 2: nauseating occasionally, but a lot of fun, but also shooting
Speaker 2: on the deck on the bridge of the battleship when
Speaker 2: it sinks it gets completely submerged and we shot like
Speaker 2: underwater and that stuff was really crazy and fun and intense.
Speaker 2: So I love that sequence. The best mix of music
Speaker 2: class 95 Hi
Speaker 1: millie I first up are you Team Godzilla or your
Speaker 1: team kong and why I am Team Godzilla because it
Speaker 1: kind of launched my movie career. So I can't really,
Speaker 1: I can't really do them like that, you know? Yeah.
Speaker 1: So your character returns from Godzilla, King of the Monsters.
Speaker 1: Were you looking forward to playing medicine again? Yes, of course.
Speaker 1: I mean the last time I had played her I
Speaker 1: was 13. So it was you know, hard to kind
Speaker 1: of remember back to when you know, I was doing
Speaker 1: all that stuff because that part of my life, I
Speaker 1: was doing pretty much everything. I just kind of watched
Speaker 1: the film again and really thought about my character again
Speaker 1: and what I was doing. But you know, as a
Speaker 1: 13 year old, you haven't found yourself yet. So what
Speaker 1: was great was going back into it at 15.
Speaker 1: This sounds so stupid, but going back to a 15
Speaker 1: a lot
Speaker 2: happens when you're young.
Speaker 1: Okay, a lot happened in two years, you know, So
Speaker 1: I got to really actually create more of a character
Speaker 1: with Madison, which was nice. Do you think you'll be
Speaker 1: able to form an emotional attachment to Godzilla if he
Speaker 1: really existed in our world or would you be like
Speaker 1: frightened by his sheer size as millions. As Madison as Millie. Yes,
Speaker 1: so I'm afraid of thunder, I'm I'm afraid of pretty
Speaker 1: much everything. So except the animals actually love animals. But
Speaker 1: I don't think something a billion times bigger than me
Speaker 1: is going to be something that I'm going to be
Speaker 1: really wanting to be near.
Speaker 1: So what I would do is get a shovel and
Speaker 1: I'd start digging a bunker and then I put myself
Speaker 1: in that bunker until she dipped. I agree with you. 100%
Speaker 1: agree with you. Um, what's your personal favorite part of
Speaker 1: the film for you? Okay, I haven't thought about this yet.
Speaker 1: I actually loved the road trip that Julian and I
Speaker 1: go on, I think that that is kind of iconic.
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't obviously really drive. We were telling
Speaker 1: me at the time. We also did a bit of
Speaker 1: a green screen stuff, but that to me was really
Speaker 1: fun because we got to listen to music because it
Speaker 1: was a real car. So we just bluetooth, our phone
Speaker 1: to the car and we were playing, we were doing car,
Speaker 1: we did actually a whole segment of carpool karaoke. Um,
Speaker 1: and Julian and I were very much invested. I loved,
Speaker 1: I loved that whole sequence and I loved how it
Speaker 1: played on screen as well. What would you like our
Speaker 1: audience here in this part of the world and Singapore.
Speaker 1: We're going to watch it on March 24th, what would
Speaker 1: you like us to take away from this film. I
Speaker 1: definitely found that it has such a deeper meaning, you know,
Speaker 1: we really give young people a voice in this film
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's so important. I also think
Speaker 1: that protecting our world, protecting our
Speaker 1: the animals in it and preserving um us and and
Speaker 1: taking care of it is so important and you'll see
Speaker 1: that in this film, you know, So I think that
Speaker 1: there's that there's those kind of underlying meanings and that's
Speaker 1: what I took away, but it's up for you guys
Speaker 1: to decide what you would like to take away. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much. Millie. Really nice catching up with you.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Thank you
Speaker 1: By the Best Mix of Music Class 95. Hi Julian.
Speaker 1: Hi Brian, How are you guys
Speaker 2: good for the both of
Speaker 1: you? Team Godzilla or are you team kong and why brian?
Speaker 1: You want to go first?
Speaker 2: Sure I'm going to go into Godzilla just because we
Speaker 2: spend hours of this movie trying to make sure Godzilla
Speaker 2: gets where he needs to be and I would just
Speaker 2: hate to like ride for somebody and then get them
Speaker 2: to their destination, be like, man, you're trash. I want to,
Speaker 2: I want to be a ride or die for Godzilla.
Speaker 2: So I'm definitely Team Godzilla. Right
Speaker 1: Julian. What about you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm definitely the same. It's like when you watch
Speaker 2: a boxing match and you're rooting for someone and then
Speaker 2: they lose it, right? Like just Godzilla all the way man.
Speaker 2: So
Speaker 1: Julian, you play josh valentine the friend of Madison who
Speaker 1: helps her, like investigate why Godzilla so erratic. Your character
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a nerd, a little bit
Speaker 1: of a realist. Is this you in real life or
Speaker 1: are you totally far from that?
Speaker 2: Tell the truth, Julian, josh valentine is definitely a nerd.
Speaker 2: He even had a pocket change throughout the whole film
Speaker 2: and adam when God made before he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I want him to have a wallet chain. Sometimes I'll
Speaker 2: just fall into the rabbit hole of like Youtube conspiracy
Speaker 2: theory sometimes, like just a lot of things that I
Speaker 2: can relate to, but josh valentine is an interesting character
Speaker 2: and if I was someone like him in real life,
Speaker 2: I would not be very popular. I don't buy that.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that at all, Julian.
Speaker 1: I don't
Speaker 2: believe that at all,
Speaker 1: brian, I loved your character at the moment. I saw
Speaker 1: you on screen. Um and I love that you're a
Speaker 1: bit of that conspiracy theorists. Likewise, I mean in real life,
Speaker 1: do you believe
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories?
Speaker 2: You know Bernie and I share a lot, like Bernie
Speaker 2: and I share a lot in common. Uh one I
Speaker 2: love a jumpsuit, I will always rock a jumpsuit if
Speaker 2: I can and a bum bag or Fannie pack, he
Speaker 2: had one of those lots to do hickeys. Uh he
Speaker 2: just always one of those guys that's ready. You know,
Speaker 2: he just wants to be ready because he knows that
Speaker 2: he can't trust these corporations out there. You never know
Speaker 2: what they have going for us. And he's also a
Speaker 2: man of the people even though he probably has no friends. Um,
Speaker 2: I think Bernie and I are good. He likes isolation,
Speaker 2: which is great. Um, even after this year I was
Speaker 2: like isolation is the
Speaker 1: boss. Um,
Speaker 2: yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there is a
Speaker 2: lot uh, comparisons between he and I, because he found
Speaker 2: himself incredibly annoyed by being followed by two teenagers and
Speaker 2: I for one know, and in my personal life, teenagers
Speaker 2: really get on my nerves. So you know, it was
Speaker 2: easy to mesh that, uh, and bring that method acting
Speaker 2: to Bernie. But actually it's you, I like his heart,
Speaker 2: his heart was great because when you're on an adventure
Speaker 2: like that with these two actors, like you know Julian
Speaker 2: and Millie, you just have to play, you have to
Speaker 2: go with it, you really do. And they really challenged
Speaker 2: me to play as much as possible. It was absolutely
Speaker 2: some of the best times I had on set just
Speaker 2: running around playing on the set. We might have got
Speaker 2: in trouble a couple of times because you know, we
Speaker 2: had a little too much fun. But either way we
Speaker 2: wanted it to showcase in the movie and we feel
Speaker 2: like he did, we feel like you really root for
Speaker 2: them and you really care about their team. So it
Speaker 2: was totally worth it.
